Updated: UI updates to follow modern Windows UI conventions
Fixed: Cross-thread issues which caused random crashes often when copying files
Added: Doesnt run as administrator in Vista/Win7
Added: We can now drag-drop files to and from Explorer
Fixed: Songs sometimes imported into iTunes with 'Remember position' checked
Added: Detection of iOS4

I know everyone is waiting for full iOS4 support, but there are a couple of changes Apple has made which I haven't figured out a way around yet. So 3.9.6 will not let you make changes to an iOS4 device.

Hi There, i'm a big fan of you and just despise itunes. but i am having trouble, just downloaded the latest version and cannot upload photos from the pc to the itouch. no dragging helps and there is no function when you have photos selected to upload. please help

Secondly, I have a bug report - I get an error after loading Sharepod 3.6.6 on Windows Vista:System.IO.IOException: Access to the path 'C:\Windows\TEMP\SharePodLib\Sessions\JQ5490HDSZ9' is denied. at System.IO.Directory.DeleteHelper(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean recursive) at System.IO.Directory.Delete(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean recursive) at ag..ctor(IPod A_0) at SharePodLib.IPod..ctor(DeviceFileSystem A_0, IPodLoadAction A_1) at SharePodLib.IPod.GetConnectedIPod(IPodLoadAction action) at o.a()

Top programme helped me recover most of my itunes music. However i am having trouble copying the playlists or music over to itunes!! Whenever i do a full backup or even a single playlist i get the following message 'failed to copy to itunes' can you please help??

Hey, thanks for this great software. I'm experiencing a problem with version 3.9.6, where all previous versions (for the last year or so) have worked flawlessly for me.

I recently transferred some mp3s to my iPod touch 2G (iOS 3.1.2). Now when I go to listen to them on my device, the "Music" app crashes often and repeatedly. Also, the listing of songs has many blank spaces in it.

Do you have an idea what the problem might be? Should I run iTunes to repair the database or something?

Thanks again, this has always been a great program for me. Very appreciative of your work!

Cool program, I have just two questions:Is there any support for audiobooks planned?Do you think it is possible to ever run it under mono? I'd really like to see this running under Linux, because all other Linux iTunes Substitute don't get the hashing of the dbase right...

Just wanted to say, SharePod is amazing and it's made my life a whole lot easier for years now! I get asked a lot, from all sorts of different people, what the best free software is to get music on and off your iPod. First thing I do is send them a link to your site.

Jeff! Thanks for the awesome program but I got something weird to throw at you. I know you said that for now there is no OS4 support and that is the reason for the unable to upload songs and stuff. It's weird but I plugged in my Ipodtouch (OS4) the other day with sharepod ver 3.9.5 and I was actually able to move over songs. After that I then opened Itunes (Even though I hate it) to fix all the music information. After I did that I closed Itunes and downloaded the new update of sharepod (3.9.6) and then it stopped working... So it's weird that I was actually able to add files before I opened itunes with 3.9.5... Just wanted to let you know maybe you might discover something with that info! Keep up the great work!

Jeff...DUDE! Thank you so much for coming up with SharePod...from now on, this is *definitely* on my list of must-have software. I recently misplaced a CD-ROM on which I kept a backup of the MP3s on my creaky old 4th generation iPod, and I didn't relish the idea of paying for the tracks a second time. I wasn't sure that SharePod would even work on my faithful old player, but...voila! I managed to download all the tracks, and even put new tracks on without having to mess around with iTunes. Consider me a fan!

Very nice !!! I have an iPod touch 2G with iOS 4.0 with iTunes 10 and it work great for backup my music !!! I did not even try other features so i don't want to crash something so i wait for the new full release !

OK you fuckers...someone borrowed my iphone to grab some songs off of it, used sharepod, and now my phone is screwed. It fucked up all of my songs, and then left a 2.5GB crapfile on it, so I can't sync it with itunes to fix it.

Today was the second time that sharepod screwed up my iphone's database... And I noticed this only happenes when I click the eject button (witch I thought would be ironically safer...).When I (usually) just close sharepod it syncs for a sec one last time before it fully closes,not on eject though...So,BUG!?

iPad users, to fix the crash caused by SharePod in your devices, try to download CopyTrans Manager and make some changes on your playlist. After sync, try to connect with iTunes. That procedure worked for me and fixed all the troubles. \o/

Hi, I have a problem with m4b files.First, there is mask to choose m4b files. I have to use "*.*".Second, if I import the mp4 file all chapter are gone. If I imoprt the files via iTune everything works fine.Doesn't sharepod support m4b files or do I something wrong?

I noticed that I am not the first one to have this problem. Every time I tried to back up all my files and then go into itunes, I get a message that says invalid/damaged library file. It will not import my playlists at all. HELP!!!

hi, i've used sharepod in the past with no problem but now after losing all my itunes music again am unable to properly import the music into itunes..I have itunes version 10 and have once managed to get about 700 of 900 songs onto itunes but with no playlists or play counts. i reinstalled both sharepod and itunes and now whilst copying music to my computer get the message 'copied tracks couldn't be imported into itunes.'Any idea what could be causing this? Any help is greatly appreciated :) thank you.

i am currently having a problem running SharePod 3.9.6 when using my IPhone 3G (16GB). SharePod begins to startup/serching for device but it never moves past the "Loading" screen. i have tried using it directly on my P.C. as well as attempting to run it directly from my flash drive without much success. I am using the most current version of Itunes (Itunes 10) but i am wondering if you may have any advice in resolving this issue.

hello Jeff. I must say thankyou. I never really understood itunes. I downloaded sharepod a year a go for my IPOD SHUFFLE and it worked just fine, but recently my boyfriend got the IPOD SHUFFLE 2gb model A1373 and tried to use sharepod from my computer as well. He did format it first with Itunes and was able to listen to the songs imported from itunes but when importing songs with sharepod we only get the msg "pls use itnes to sync music to this ipod" could you give us a hand here pls. thks in adv.

hey, love your program and use it all the time, but there is one major bug - at least on my computer.the sorting function of your program just doesn't work for me. Actually, I don't even see the damn yellow bar below my playlist. I've got a bigger grey area where's nothing in it, just below the tracklist, where the sortingbar is supposed to be.

Besides that sharepod runs fine.. I can copy, dl, backup, everything. But the friggin bar is not there and I would LOVE to get it back. especially when remembering that everyone else can see and use the bar.

Hello! I am a fan too! I used the sharepod once, but now, when I open it it says it is finding my iPhone and then another screen pops up and says that it is not responding and to either debug or close the program. If I close the program it goes away, if I chose debug it freezes everything and then I have to restart my computer. Is there some way I can use the program and get past these pop-ups? Your help is very much appreciated and I will donate to your cause!

"Hello! I am a fan too! I used the sharepod once, but now, when I open it it says it is finding my iPhone and then another screen pops up and says that it is not responding and to either debug or close the program."

Hi jeff. How are you?. I have a problem with the sharepod. When I try yo start it, it says a windows error: "Sharepod has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." and the error gives me to options to click on, debug or cancel. So I can't start and use the program.

I was able to get around the sharepod has stopped working problem by starting a new debugging session in VS2010. Once I continued past the 1 error and it opened up and is now backing up my music.

Great software, and it work like a charm on my iPhone 3gs. However on my Ipad 2 it does not :-(

When adding music to my Ipad, it all goes welle, and the added tracks are visible in copytrans manager (CTM), but when I open the ipad, there are no music or playlists visible on the ipad... I can only see the playlists in CTM. It updates and transfers without any errors, but the music is just not visible once disconnected from CTM. The Ipad is running IOS 4.3.3 due to Jailbreak.
